Over One Million Muslim Americans Favor A Global Terrorist, And More Disturbing News


Islam doesn’t just have an inherently serious problem. It is one. Be prepared for the willfully ignorant to label you a racist … for daring to highlight the truth about something that has absolutely nothing to do with race …

By Dr. Stephen M. Kirby, Jihad Watch – “On October 20, 2023, the polling company Cygnal released a report on Americans’ views about the early October Hamas terrorist attack on Israel. The report was titled Survey of General Population: Israel -Hamas Awareness and Attitudes.[1] The survey presented the same questions to six different groups: Jewish Americans, Muslim Americans, Evangelicals, Republicans, Independents, and Democrats, with the results being shown for each.

One of the disturbing results of this survey came in response to this question:

Below you will read a list of names of various people mentioned in the news recently. For each one, please indicate if you have heard of the person, and if you have, whether you have a favorable or unfavorable impression of the person. If you don’t recognize a name, choose so.

The name given was Ismail Haniyeh, a senior Hamas leader, and 38.6% of Muslim Americans had a favorable impression of him (of the other five groups, the closest favorable rating came from Democrats at 14.9%). There are an estimated 3.45 million Muslim Americans in the United States. This survey indicates that around 1.3 million Muslim Americans have a favorable impression of Haniyeh.

This is disturbing for two reasons. On October 8, 1997, the United States designated Hamas as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. And in January 2018, the U.S. State Department designated Ismail Haniyeh as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist.

This favorable impression of Haniyeh was not due to a lack of information among Muslim Americans. The survey showed that when asked how closely they had followed events in Israel since the attack by Hamas on October 7th (“Hamas Awareness”), 30.9% of Muslim Americans responded ‘Somewhat Closely,’ and 44.9% responded “Very Closely.”

When asked about being informed with regard to ‘Fatah, Hamas and Palestinian politics,’ 65.4% of Muslim Americans considered themselves ‘Informed,’ and 7.3% considered themselves ‘Expert.’

The survey showed that Muslim Americans were also aware of the following events regarding the October 7th attack by Hamas:

  1. ‘Over 1,200 people were killed in Israel, including women, infants, the elderly, and Holocaust survivors.’ Very Aware: 36.4%, and Somewhat Aware: 41.9%
  2. ‘Over 250 people who were attending an all-night music festival were killed in Israel.’ Very Aware: 33.7%, and Somewhat Aware: 42.7%
  3. ‘Over 100 people, incljuding women and young children, were abducted from Israel and are bing held hostage in Gaza.’ Very Aware: 36.9%, and Somewhat Aware: 44.4%
  4. ‘Hamas militants decapitated young children during their attack in Israel.’ Very Aware: 25.9%, and Somewhat Aware: 40%

So despite the extent of the knowledge among Muslim Americans about the above incidents, around 1.3 million Muslim Americans still had a favorable impression of Haniyeh, and by inference, HAMAS.” Read more.
